Honestly I think there are at least 4 really REALLY good arguments for nationalizing spaceX. Fuckwit Musk is a national security risk.

Literally, and I’ve seen people glorifying that Elon’s Xitter is a ‘free speech’ platform. It’s not even the closest thing to that. It’s a proprietary application where Musk can control whatever he wants and push any kind of narrative that he wants.

Putin’s got his own management interface. He just logged on and did it.

I want to say yes, but to be honest Putin doesn’t even know how to turn on computer and he never uses internet.

I kind of understand Reddit, but why do people hang in there with Twatter when there are currently three grown ass alternatives?

Heh, it took me a minute to think of a third one after Mastodon and Bluesky.

Totally forgot about Meta’s thing.

I think they are talking about Nostr because saying threads is better than twitter is like comparing a piece of shit with another piece of shit.

This is called the “network effect,” so called after the Murderbot novel of the same name (recommended). It’s what makes social medias, aggregators, and service platform so “sticky.” It’s what makes platform-capitalism work.

It also makes nice things work too, ofc.

Many big politicians are also right-wing extremists, at least here in the US, so that makes sense.

If only. When I ask my friends and relatives it feels like the reach of alternatives to shitty resources is nearly non-existent. We shouldn’t fool ourselves about their current popularity and promote their adoption in our peers ):

I used to joke that Republicans were Russian sycophants, bought and paid for by Putin himself to destroy America. But it’s not actually, and maybe never was, a joke.

Yeesh
